(Muhammad), say, "I worship only my Lord and do not consider anyone equal to Him". 20 Say, "I do not possess any power to harm or benefit you". 21 Say thou: verily none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find beside Him any refuge. 22 (It is) only a delivering (of communications) from Allah and His messages; and whoever disobeys Allah and His Apostle surely he shall have the fire of hell to abide therein for a long time. 23 Till, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who it is that is weaker concerning helpers and less important concerning numbers. 24 Say, "I do not know if what you are promised is near or if my Lord will grant for it a [long] period." 25 [He is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone 26 except the messenger whom He has chosen. He sends down guardians who walk before them and behind them, 27 so that He may know that they have delivered the Messages of their Lord and He encompasses all that is with them, and He has counted everything in numbers' 28
